For the 4th year in a row the Karta Mobile dev team made the voyage to San Francisco, California for the annual BlackBerry Developers Conference, a.k.a DevCon. We always strive to bring the latest in BlackBerry technology to your fingertips - and what better way to do so than going straight from the source.

For a second day in a row now we have been getting the latest details, technology roadmaps and best practices directly from our partners at Research In Motion and we are very excited to bring everything that we learned to the Viira community over the coming months. We have several important product announcements that resulted directly from collaboration at DevCon, so stay tuned as further details will be coming out over the next few days!

Jimmy, Viira will be available on the Playbook as soon as the Playbook 2.0 software update rolls out. The current ETA from RIM on this is early next year. We will be making a formal announcement on this very shortly!

That is so cool! I was considering sideloading Viira for android onto my playbook. But then I realised I wouldn’t be able to sync my info so I passed. So I guess that means your cloud sync announcement will be at the same time?!

Very good observation, Jimmy! Yes, that’s exactly right, the upcoming cloud sync service will be needed in order to sync between your Playbook and BlackBerry. With BlackBerry Bridge still being work-in-progress in many ways (and AT&T still resisting it) our cloud service will be the way forward to sync between devices and platforms.
